"Our friend and colleague, Don Schuman, specifications writer at NBBJ from 1984 until March 2014 (30 years), passed away at his home in Queen Anne, May 5, 2016 due to pulmonary fibrosis, at age 68. His decline was somewhat sudden, as he had just enjoyed retirement trips to China and South America. Per Don’s last wishes, there will be no memorial service, or donation request. He is survived by two sisters in Port Angeles and his partner, and care-giver Randy Benvenuti.

Don was the author of countless project manuals here at NBBJ, guiding the way technically each step of the way. He was a stickler for getting it right and eliciting all of the pertinent information from design teams. Don organized the weekly Lunch and Learn vendor presentations, was a generous mentor, and a dedicated officer of CSI Puget Sound Chapter. Year after year he broke all records recruiting new members for CSI and was a respected and well liked figure in the architectural community amongst vendors and spec writers. This respect lifted NBBJ’s stature. He was an individual who truly made a difference and his dedication elevated our work. Don will be missed. Rest In Peace."
